Sir Klumsay didn't mean to break his sword, so waiting for it to be repaired was boring indeed.

About this creation

Whilst practicing the honorable act of swordplay, Sir Klumsay misjudged his swing and bent his trusty blade on a stone pillar. Out of action and out of a sword, he spent his time at the smithy's forge playing with the smith's pet chicken.

Hey, they didn't have TV back then, so what in the heck was he supposed to do?

Seriously, these are some test shots for an upcoming scene in Glomshire Knights. I wanted to modify the Blacksmith Attack set so it looked as though it were set up along the city wall with water flowing in from the moat. It should do the trick. Now to get back to work on the comic... unless I decide to do some more MOCing!

I agree with Mr. Ice Cream below me. Maybe if you rotated the mill or moved the water a bit it would make some sense. You could even make the water flowing into a fountain farther along in the castle if you continued it on a perpindicular path from the wall. Just some ideas. Either way, I can't wait for the comic.

The problem with the water course Dennis is it takes a 90% turn. It doesn't seem like it would have sufficient directional power to turn the wheel well enough. Perhaps make the water area extend into the castle at least where the wheel sits, you could even run a small via duct to above the wheel and have water flowing onto the top of the wheel, utilising gravity as well to drive it?

Yep, you're right. I'm going to modify it some more with your idea in mind. The idea for the joke came into my head while tinkering with this, so I hadn't thought it all the way through. Dang you, comedy!
